http://www.naturalnews.com/037663_chemotherapy_drugs_vitamin_D_deficiency.html I know this is an altnerative news source, but its worth a read, gee we have discussed d3 here for years, I don't think its standard practice to be offered a top up by conventional onc's. they say 10,000 a day keeps the mets away. well it did not work for me, so maybe it will work for you. hugs, ps and get really good medical advice before doing any crazy therapies. |

My doc told me 5k-6k units a day. Others state they take it when the doc says it is low. My GP, and two Oncologists tell me to pump it up to at least 5k-6K units a day. I do 3K units in the morning and again in the evening.
I just started taking Barley. It is supposed to help one's immune system. It tastes like grass (duh), and hopefully helps my digestive tract back on track.

My levels were low after going to my GP and telling me to take 1,000 IU a day but I'm up to 2,000 now. They do find studies that state that low D3 levels can bring cancer on. Didn't read your link but just throwing my 2 cents in.

would n't it be nice to save someones butt literally.
its just some of us don't get the message, don't get informed.
it seems most who want really good d3 levels need 3k and above, thinks a function of our livers health that makes the active form we need and our genes, so some of us take d3 and pray for another day.
its preaching, but the simple things well d3 and some aspirin even, gee some exercise and of course a smile.

On maintenance levels of oral chemo, my wife was still slightly insufficient at 12,000 iu of D3 per day. Patients need to monitor their vitamin D blood levels while on chemo and this is not yet a standard practice for many doctors.

is required to keep me in the normal range (not even high normal). I'm under medical supervision, and this is my dosage.
Anything less than that, and my levels continued to drop.

pick a higher number, you might when a prize.
heaps of drugs upset the d3 conversion in the liver and kidney.
every cell in a body has vdr receptors, its essential to gcmaf, to so many of our bodies processes.
